Commencing from the charming weekend settlement of Nizo Pole, the hike unfolds along a scenic trail offering panoramic vistas of the Pelagonia valley and the majestic peaks of Mount Baba. Each step presents an opportunity to marvel at the natural splendor surrounding you.

For those seeking an exhilarating challenge, the adventure can extend to conquering the summit of Pelister.
